Microbiology Time – March 2023
This month, we traveled From Ethiopia to Canada to collect three exciting studies to share on our Microbiology Time. From the analysis of the high-risk HPV infection prevalence in the African country to a veterinary case report on a lethal fungal infection in a captive bullfrog and a research paper amplifying human DNA from leeches to identify a victim or suspect of a crime. Enjoy!
